@crockett36 you will need to focus on turning the game around in the Pacific as India is only able to build a couple infantry per round which will die in the Burma meat grinder. I don’t understand how the American planes in Siberia will provide much assistance, or how the UK fleet will be able to join up with USA Pacific fleet.
I don’t see how that side of the map will be able to hold up unless you sustain nearly 100% of the USA spend for an prolonged period of time. You probably need 3 aircraft carriers along with a couple of transports built this turn so they can start sailing towards Queensland to provide a second front for the Japanese.
-
@crockett36 I don’t think that you will get that much detailed advise from your team as it is difficult to provide counseling in a Play-by-Forum match. Let me know how you want to proceed.
-
@arthur-bomber-harris tonight or tomorrow morning I will post to YouTube and post here with pix. I’m going to pm a few people to comment. Perhaps a direct appeal. I know no limit will if I ask. Still very excited. Just very busy.
And this is a big turn. I am I interested in stepping forward and also returning to us2. That little misunderstanding provides a rich what if that would nicely tend to my few open sores.

It is difficult to get people to respond on these tutor games. I haven’t been very useful for the other match that is going on at the moment. Let me know if you ever need advice on strategies as winning/losing this match is not important to me. Losing would actually be a good sign that my tutoring is useful.
I think it is time to go back as your fleets are so out of position to do much of use, with the Med fleet trying to get to the Pacific but will be unable to hook up, and your USA Pacific fleet so badly decimated that it can’t stand toe-to-toe with the IJN for many turns. Everything is collapsing in the Japan side of the board, and Germany will be able to get a big income to hold off the Allied invasion for a long time.
Should we go back to the very beginning. I would propose an A+100 bid and head to G1.
-
@arthur-bomber-harris I’m still under the delusion that I’m winning. So let us proceed if you don’t mind.
-
@crockett36 no problem continuing so you can see how this plays out. It could take a bit of time for India and Siberia to collapse, but after that the economic advantage for the Axis should be quite large.
-
I suggest just playing it out quickly according to your own sentiments, @crockett36. Waiting for responses that won’t show is just too tedious. To my eye the game was lost long ago, so that’s the reason I haven’t invested time in input/advice.
If you start it over I think the present bid of 69 is more than sufficient. Perhaps you’ll allow me then to take a more active part? I’d be happy to help you embarrass Axis. 😉
-
@trulpen agreed. Things went off course when the Americans started to push the fleet up north instead of challenging the IJN in the Money Islands/Carolines, and then went further and further astray.
You have so come far yourself since that first tutor game.
-
I will forge on.
-
-
@crockett36 as you correctly analyzed, the plan for the Axis is a an economic battle with attrition playing a key part to grind down Allied forces wherever possible. Australia, Hawaii, and Moscow are safe for a large number of turns, but the fall of Middle East, India, China, and Siberia will be a big blow to the Allied economy.
-
How about Japan just swiftly nailing 6 VCs?
-
@trulpen that obviously will be possible if the United States does not spend a large fraction of their production on the Pacific side. I will have to evaluate what is feasible after the fall of India.
-
@arthur-bomber-harris scramble into sz 6? I’m coming in with 3 figs and 1 diver.
-
@crockett36 no scramble.
-
@arthur-bomber-harris I’ll do it tonight around 7pm
